Meet the real Santa Claus in Laval

Direction: to the outdoor courtyard of the Sylvain-Garneau library in Sainte-Rose!

On December 16, Santa Claus invites young and old alike to a magical photo session. And because it's always better to be in good company, he'll be on hand with Michelle Laliberté who will host the event. Mam'zelle Joséphine and her hot chocolate will also be on hand. It's for the whole family, and it's free. 

Illumi - A fairyland of lights

Some places are predestined for magic, andillumi is one of them. Every Friday and Saturday in December (from 4.45pm to 8.45pm), Santa Claus will be on hand to welcome children to his enchanting, almost magical setting. Just imagine: your child at the height of happiness, Santa Claus all smiles and the big Tree of Lights rising behind them. It doesn't get much better than that.

CF Carrefour Laval

Santa Claus stopped by CF Carrefour Laval. He set up shop at the region's mega-mall on November 17 and will be there until December 24. For a number of years now, Laval's largest shopping center has been offering families a new option: they can plan in advance to meet and have their photo taken with the bearded man of the hour. It is now possible to make an appointment with the kids, which greatly reduces the wait and the bacon-fueled tantrums of the little ones. All you have to do is show up ten minutes in advance, and you're ready to go. A visit to the impressive fir tree is a must, and take the opportunity to take a nice family photo.

Duo Centre Laval

The man of the hour will make his much-anticipated arrival on December 2 at the Centre DUO Laval, as a patient crowd awaits him with great anticipation! To celebrate in style, there are plenty of free activities for the whole family! Take advantage of your visit to meet Mrs. Claus, taste delicious cookies, take part in a balsam fir workshop, and write a letter to Santa, all in a festive atmosphere! The festivities will run until 4 p.m. on December 24, so Santa can leave in time to distribute his gifts.

Several time slots are available to meet Santa Claus, between Saturday December 2 and Sunday December 24. Simply book reserve the time of your choice.

Christmas Market

With its hanging lights, sleigh rides and campfires, the magical village of the Christmas Market at Center de la naturewill make you feel like you're in Rudolph country! You'll see your little ones' faces light up as they discover, one by one, the windows of the decorated houses. And what can we say about their reaction when they go to tell Santa their wish list! Plus, visit his office, where thousands of letters from children all over the world are in transit. The Christmas market welcomes you on December 1-2-3 and December 8-9-10.
